Egret

Chapter 24. Fate

The sword that was stuck in the ground was drawn, and a white burning day was revealed. The sacred flame, the holy painting, covered the entire sword in white.

Judas had been baptized with this purification once before, so he was quite familiar with it. It was a warm and merciful fire that burned only unclean beings.

“Your Majesty?”

He opens his mouth to Ricky without answering the question.

“Ricky.”

“That, ha, but. ”

“Please.”

Judas nods at Ricky, who hesitates if it's really possible.

Judas remained calm in the face of a potentially fatal mutilation. I was just asking so calmly as an adult to do errands.

Ricky, feeling the trust in him, called out to his spirit, feeling his throat choking.

“…… Jay. ”

A little pink spirit flies to the captive rock boy.

Ricky wraps Jay around him with a trembling hand.

‘From the beginning.'

It has been since we first met.

Judas didn't resent or get angry with Ricky no matter what he did. I betrayed him and hurt him, but he was still sweet. At first, I wanted to see everyone unusual. I wanted to be a fool to put up with my anger.

Judas was the most altruistic thing Ricky had ever seen.

But now that I think about it, he wasn't altruistic.

‘I've always acted sincerely. ’

I don't hide my gut. I don't doubt it.

Judas has always treated those he meets with sincerity in relaxation and inclusion that only the strong have. Even if someone harms himself, he does not turn his back or take revenge, even if he knows he is a traitor and hurts.

Because he knows everything.

The desperation that Ricky wanted to meet his father, who was hidden behind the treachery he did, and the fact that that desperation was a miserable wish that could never be fulfilled.

In addition, he let all those he met know that he was weak enough to take his life if his hands were sharp.

Those who stood before him were all children in many ways. So I wasn't really angry and watched the kid play.

The moment he gets angry is when children's playfulness crosses the line. Just like when Siobhan threatened him.

Ricky thought Judas with a sword wrapped around him was like a god.

“Virus Remote Control Run. ”

“ ……! ”

When the order fell, Judas' three relatives had to run away at the same time and suppress Ricky's urge to stop his mouth.

But it wasn't because Judas made his own decision. Even Edan, famous for being cold, was agitated enough to shake his eyelids, but nothing came out of his mouth.

Cristina didn't know what to do. She just chewed her lips like a girl her age.

Please specify a target.

“Judas! ”

Then Baikal opened his mouth.

Everyone's gaze was drawn to him. When Judas's gaze met the gold eye, Baikal took one long breath. The mouth that was hardened by the tension barely loosened and painted a playful smile.

“If you go back to the Empire, come with me to the party. ”

“ ……. ”

“Am I not connected again? Every woman I meet becomes a friend, so even though my love business is ruined, I'm confident in arranging meetings. ”

“…… Baikal. ”

“I'll bring all the good friends, so hide your identity and see if you can meet them. Oh, I hope you can take Sage with you. You're all grown up when you're 14. ”

Judas, who was staring at me, smiled a little, because he was far away from talking about the holidays alone.

Even in this situation, being able to behave like that was a big advantage for Baikal. The horse made a joke, but it wasn't even a joke in it.

When he laughed, Baikal paused. Faced with the green pupil waiting for an answer, Judas nods lightly.

“Got it."

“Did you promise? ”

“Yes.”

The masked party was literally a meeting place where identity and face were hidden and enjoyed.

As if it were a fairy tale scene, it created a strange romantic atmosphere, enabling a sincere meeting that seemed to be light, so there were a lot of lovers that actually followed here. Baikal adds that when he took the participating physician away from her, who was usually looking at her like a stone.

“...... You must come with me. ”

‘Alive.'

Instead of answering, the tip of the pointed sword that scratched the ground turned to the sky.

Judas moved the end and precisely fitted it to himself. Surrounded by sacred flames, the sword flashes unexpectedly.

"My Lord, please set a goal.

Riki closes her eyes and opens her mouth as Jay's urge continues.

“To the heart.”

When the target was set, the speed at which the virus was triggered was very fast.

In the blink of an eye, the virus that was encroaching on the whole body rushed to one place. The moment Judas was driven to necrosis, the source of life and the heart with the most powerful energy, Judas felt a strong vertigo, just like the world was spinning.

‘No. Progress is too fast. ’

The virus attack was faster than I thought.

I didn't have the strength to put a sword into my hands. The sword trembled at the end. If this were the case, the heart would probably die first before the virus could be burned.

The moment I thought about it, someone grabbed his shoulders that were falling apart.

Those who supported his back and shoulders were Cristina and Baikal, who opposed stabbing Hansako. I noticed that things were going awkwardly and instinctively flew away to participate in the work.

The rational judgment of 'dare not stab the Lord’ was not important at this moment.

The moment you do, your heart will die, and then it's all over.

“Forgive the displeasure. ”

Then I felt one more solid hand over my trembling hand, holding the handle of the sword. With blurred vision, I could only see Sakharov's hair like the night sky.

It was Edan.

Edan, who holds Judas' hand, which is powerless to the shock of his heart's attack, strikes his sword with the same force. The sacred fire was a moment through the heart full of viruses.

Arrow.

A light so intense that it could not open its eyes swallowed my son-in-law. Later, it was not clear whether he was opening his eyes or closing his eyes.

They lost their minds in the twinkling light.

How long has it been?

While unconscious, Cristina opens her eyes when she hears someone's bluffing. It was a familiar cry.

"Hung Hung Hung. You're back. Hung Hung Hung."

“... Lagrima...? ”

The spirit of tears, whose whole body was shining blue, hesitated and wept.

[Good job. Good job. They're all so old.

Cristina wakes up and sits down. I saw the back of Baikal falling to the ground right next to me.

And as he turned his head, he saw Edan, who opened his eyes a step later than she did.

“Cristina, Your Majesty? ”

“Your Majesty...? ”

Naturally, as soon as they woke up, they found Judas.

Concerns about him took precedence over the question of where his eyes were open.

“Ugh, sister, dazzle. ”

Baikal also muttered like a sleepwalker and raised his body. The divine light, which seemed blind only, was already disappearing. They looked around, dumbfounded.

Spacious city with fluffy carpets and transparent glass windows. It was the top floor of the Colosseum of Midgard that stopped before entering Ragnarok.

‘This is not a spiritual system. ’

I returned to the world they lived in.

Edan and Cristina stood up in shock. The whole world was a night of darkness. Lagrima, who hesitated to sit and cry, glowed blue alone in the dark room, was the first to notice.

As the three became accustomed to darkness, they discovered that there were so many people. The group that escaped Ragnarok first split up was all here.

“Brother..... ”

Sage was crying as well as Lagrima.

Cristina breaks her trembling lips as she puts her hand on her chest, which is tapping down.

“Your Majesty... Judas...? ”

“Hmm? You're already up. ”

She wanted to hear the hallucination for a moment.

However, seeing that Edan and Baikal looked like themselves, it was right to hear them. They turn their heads in one direction, as if they had made a promise.

“It's still a deep night, so I was hoping to wake up a little while I was asleep. ”

He stood at the window, which he had not looked at in a hurry.

As he stared at the lights flowing out of the city, he turned his head toward them.

‘It's not the light. ’

The light around him was four spirits that meant different attributes.

Among them was Rooney, who was being punitive. Falling at the contractor's feet, the blue wolf, who rolled his clear eyes like a glass egg and stared at them, sighed lightly with a hooked nose.

“Wigdrasil went back to the diocese with Hebracis first. The last light that exploded was not harmful, but was baptized with purification. ”

When I opened my heart, I realized that the tears that Lagrimana or Sage shed were not grief, but joy.

Cristina couldn't stand the green wind that surrounded her and the emotions that soared up her throat.

“Oh, my God, why are you crying again? If not, Sage won't stop crying. It was a crappy car. ”

Cristina, who was always armed with a frosty look, burst into tears as she wept her nose open, killing Judas.

“Are you sure? ”

“So, you're afraid you might be welcome? ”

As a joke, Cristina holds onto his cuff in hopes that Judas, who stands in front of her eyes, will really be welcomed and disappear.

“Are you not sick anymore? ”

“It's okay because you helped me. ”

My heart almost died of necrosis if I didn't get enough power in my hands.

Judas, referring to the fact, patted Cristina's head as she reached out and wept.

“Thank you. Thank you all for your courage. ”

Hairy.

Edan knelt down first.

The knights who watched him fell to their knees at once. Meanwhile, Cole, who was quietly sniffing his nose, was also bowing his head.

“I've waited. S-... No, Judas. ”

Judas, who looked down on his knees, smiled with a gentle smile.

“Let's go back now. ”

To our country.

The last pilgrimage to Midgard, a machine kingdom located to the north of the Empire, ended.

Sichup Odin, whose body remained intact, did not die completely after the events in Ragnarok. Instead, Sichup, who lost Ragnarok and was hacked into data, no longer has the same authority as before.

And Ricky, who hacked Cisop, created a new operating system called GM against him.

Named GM, which describes society as a game, refers to the group of operators who designate and supervise commitments and laws to be observed as human beings in a dizzying outlaw.

We still don't know to what extent GM will be able to fight Sichup, but the rest was up to them.

Judas E. Archidion, the Emperor of Lubarzan, who had left on a pilgrimage in the snowy winter, returned safely to the Imperial Palace when the colours had fallen out of the palace garden.

I mentioned it one day, but I have Sad Ecstasy... (?)

The ending is a happy reservation. ^ ^

You have about two or three chapters left to complete.

Now, let's run to the end!

So I'll see you on the next side. Thank you!
